The New York Jets did the unthinkable and upset the New England Patriots as divisional playoffs ended Sunday night to advance to the American Conference championship game.
The Jets were given no chance by every NFL analyst to beat the Patriots but the Jets, lead by coach Rex Ryan, came out on top.
The Jets opened up the first quarter by preventing a a Patriots touchdown and only giving up a field goal worth three points. The Jets offense was showing some success with the running game but they were unable to convert points.
In a Patriots drive in the first quarter, quarter back, Tom Brady, was intercepted by a member of the Jets defense and took it back to the 10-yard line before the Jet was taken down.
The Jets were unable to convert points from the Brady interception. Later on in the game Jets' quarterback, Mark Sanchez, made a few touchdowns with passes to Ladainian Tomlinson and Braylon Edwards to lead 14-3 at halftime.
The Jets defense continued to stay on top of Patriots in the third quarter but Brady was able to bring the Patriots back into the game in the fourth quarter after he led a drive worth eight points to cut the Jets lead t 14-11.
The Jets kept their cool and Sanchez was able to connect with Santonio Holmes for a incredible catch in the in zone for a touchdown.
The Patriots tried to make a late comeback but the Jets maintained the lead and won the game 28-21 to face the Steelers on Sunday for the AFC championship.
On Saturday the Packers were able to complete my prediction and slautered the Atlanta Falcons and move on to face the Chicago Bears in the National Football Conference championship game.
In my divisional playoff picks I went 75 percent and picked three of the four winners right.
I know I did a lot better than most NFL analyst because I believe in my Jets!
